…for now. I just found out that my employer is forcing us into a company-wide week-long shutdown. Most of the company will be taking mandatory vacation at the end of the year. However, since I work in manufacturing and we have a year-end production goal to meet, our “vacation” is scheduled for the beginning of… Read More At Least I Still Have A Job
Someone’s getting a bit greedy.
Well, after a frantic and exhausting weekend, we’re finally moved in to the new QTH. I’m happy to report that the actual moving part of the move went almost exactly as planned. But (as usual) I underestimated the time it would take to clean the old place. We still managed to get all of our… Read More A Home of Our Own

Negotiaions on the new house have been very tense, and by yesterday I honestly thought we were going to have to walk away from… Read More More Ups and Downs
I use Google Reader to keep track off many of the websites and blogs that I’m interested in, especially the ham radio and QRP blogs. I’ve noticed that QRSS seems to be popping up quite a bit in the QRP zeitgeist lately. I suspect that Bill at SolderSmoke has been the catalyst for much of this.… Read More QRSS All the Rage
What’s going on at the NT7S shack? The project currently taking up most of my shack time is the construction of the W0IYH RMS-to-DC converter so that I can make accurate noise mesurements. I’m probably about 2/3 finished with this project, with most of the components placed on the copper clad but none of the… Read More Mid-Summer Shack Update
